"Is testing" could mean that some mid-level manager got an iPad (maybe charged the company, maybe not), and had an I.T. guy set his email up on it, while he was on the clock at his Fortune 100 company. So, 80% is pretty meaningless... how many fortune 100 companies have actually purchased more than, say, 10 iPads?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d36d6d549e2ae1b5c2f0000I vote on you for featuredWed, 19 Jan 2011 07:19:33 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d36d6d549e2ae1b5c2f0000

Good points, Frank,
Finally, some valid criticism of Apple. Yap, nobody is perfect, and so is Apple. But Frank seems to be first who put some logic on his thoughts. And not used those "predictions", "rumors" etc.
May be because, he do some work and knew what is reality - unlike some Fandroids who just shouts without going anywhere.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d3680d4ccd1d5ea7a030000jamesabeWed, 19 Jan 2011 01:12:35 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d3680d4ccd1d5ea7a030000
Investors cheered the results, pushing Apple shares up 1.5% to $345.55 in after-hours trading. Apple shares closed down 2.3% at $340.65 in the regular session after opening down 5.4% on the news of Jobs's medical difficulties.<a href="http://www.vornline.com/senya-mbf22-universal-fixed-mount-for-10-to-37-displays-black-10001072_p1093.html">displays</a>http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d362caa49e2ae58760b0000Frank CastleTue, 18 Jan 2011 19:13:29 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d362caa49e2ae58760b0000
Sorry but while we have piloted iPad there are many things lacking outside of how the device performs (which as gaps as well). The iPad as Dan noted is mostly being adopted under our BYOT program. It is limited to email only and for websites that work with it (many internal ones do not).
We will be getting RIM Playbook by end of the month and will evalutate other options (Android, HP etc) before we determine a tablet standard (for corp procured). So to state 80% means anyting at this point and it will track to some future adoption is not reality.
It's all there for Apple to embrace and own.
- Remove iTunes from the mix
- Provide corporate billing options for App procurement
- Provide means for enterprise App stores to remove the free for all it is now
- Help with technology roadmap for planning etc
- Offer true enterprise support (I'm not going to ship or go to an Apple store for service)
7+ million iPads is impressive but its a scratch of future enterprise deployment.
Sadly we were asked to be on the call but our legal team denied the request.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d3628744bd7c8ac7b020000RattyUKTue, 18 Jan 2011 18:55:32 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d3628744bd7c8ac7b020000
